The character made his first appearance as Scorpion in the next issue. Since then, the suit has undergone several iterations. Mando shared the version from Leinil Francis Yu\u2019s variant cover for a 2019 issue of Absolute Carnage: Miles Morales. The artwork shows Gargan as Scorpion and as Venom (there was a period in Marvel Comics when Gargan became the host of the symbiote).<\/p>\n<p>Another post on Mando\u2019s Instagram Stories features Hasbro\u2019s Marvel Legends action figure inspired by Scorpion from Spider-Man: The Animated Series (1994-1998).<\/p>\n<p>Mando\u2019s social media updates come after it was reportedly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.superherohype.com\/movies\/616952-spider-man-4-2-mcu-returns-confirmed-for-brand-new-day#:~:text=Spider%2DMan%204%20will%20be,2027)%2C%20following%20Doomsday&#039;s%20delay\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">confirmed<\/a> that he would return in Brand New Day alongside Mark Ruffalo\u2019s Bruce Banner \/ The Hulk.

In the mid-credits scene, Gargan reappears and asks Michael Keaton\u2019s Adrian Toomes \/ Vulture about Spider-Man\u2019s secret identity. There were rumors that Mando would appear in a potential Sinister Six project, but that didn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n<p>Spider-Man: Brand New Day comes out in U.S. theaters on July 31, 2026.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Actor Michael Mando, widely known for portraying Nacho Varga in Better Call Saul, recently responded to the news&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":43094,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[96,949,5396,6461,22937,2839,22502,19799,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-43093","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-entertainment-news","tag-marvel","tag-marvel-cinematic-universe","tag-michael-mando","tag-movies","tag-spider-man","tag-spider-man-brand-new-day","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43093","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43093"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43093\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/43094"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43093"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43093"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43093"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
